Another question: Will PVC be negative enough in water to stay in position at the required depth?

In the UK they are normally attached to the shotline and unclipped to float free when all divers are present. I wouldn't want to be fighting a 4+knot current whilst doing deco (the Hespania comes to mind).Deco bars are usually hung from a boat, so the weight of the bar should be heavy enough to not float with the vagaries of current or surge.
